Cable Extenders

Power over Ethernet and network range extender

OUTREACH Max G extends gigabit Ethernet to 200 metres with full POE pass-through, ideal for deployment of wireless access points and IP cameras.

OUTREACH Max G easily overcomes the distance limits of POE networks

Simply connecting an OUTREACH Max G in line with the network cable instantly doubles the range from 100 metres (328 ft) to 200 metres (656 ft) with POE.

Cable lengths in Ethernet networks are limited to 100 metres (328 ft), which is a serious restriction for many security installations.

OUTREACH Max G enables installers to overcome this network limitation. Simply connecting an OUTREACH Max G in line with the network cable instantly doubles the range from 100 metres to 200 metres (656 ft).

Simple to install

Fitting OUTREACH Max G is simple because no set-up is required. Its only connections are two RJ45 network ports, both of which immediately self-configure for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX or 1000Base-T operation. POE power is automatically transferred between connected equipment. No local power supply connection is needed, because OUTREACH Max G is powered by POE.

OUTREACH Max G can easily be located anywhere along the network cable, as long as no single length of cable is greater than 100 metres. For example, to extend the network connection between a POE switch and an IP camera to 170 metres, an OUTREACH Max G could be installed 90 metres from the switch. A further 80 metres of cable would run from the OUTREACH Max G to the camera.

Max POE power
OUTREACH Max G enables network range extension to all POE devices that are compatible with IEEE 802.3af, which is the universal POE standard for low power network devices such as fixed IP cameras.

In addition, OUTREACH Max G is compatible with POE Plus (IEEE 802.3at) and higher power 4-pair POE (IEEE 802.3bt) up to 90W.

Note that OUTREACH Max G is designed for connection to POE compatible equipment only. If POE power is not required, Veracity's OUTREACH Lite G should be specified instead.

If POE and network extension beyond 200 metres (656 ft) is required, more than one OUTREACH Max G may be installed in series. For example, a 300 metre (984 ft) connection between a POE switch and a 10 watt IP camera can be achieved by fitting two OUTREACH Max G units at 100 metre intervals along the cable. The maximum extension distance depends on how much power is required and which POE source is used. See the tables on the next page or read Veracity's "Long Range Ethernet Extension" white paper on our website.

For longer Ethernet runs, Veracity recommends the LONGSPAN long distance point-to-point devices, which can achieve 100Base-TX connections with POE at up to 820m (2,690ft).

No restrictions

All OUTREACH devices restore the network connection like a switch, so when placed at 100m intervals along the cable they can deliver full bandwidth Ethernet over the full distance of 200m, 300m or further. The "G" models deliver gigabit Ethernet, maximising performance and transparency, with no risk of reduced or unpredictable bandwidth.

OUTREACH Max enables network installers to overcome the distance limitations of Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) easily, meaning that IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-powered network devices can be located right where they are needed.

Simply connect OUTREACH Max in-line with the Cat5 or Cat6 network cable for every extra 100 meters (328 feet) of length required. No configuration or electrical supply is needed, and full-rate network throughput is maintained.

OUTREACH Lite overcomes the distance limits of Ethernet, instantly

Simply connect an OUTREACH Lite in line with the network cable and instantly double its range to 200 metres (656 ft). No set-up or network configuration is required.

Ethernet is the ubiquitous technology for Local Area Network (LAN) installation, and the majority of networks in place
use the 100BASE-T network standards. However, many security installations demand network connections that exceed the maximum 100 metres (328 feet) distance limit for wired Ethernet.

OUTREACH Lite provides an instant solution to this restriction. Simply connect an OUTREACH Lite in line with the network cable adding a Power over Ethernet (POE) injector if required to double the available range to 200 metres (656 feet).

Simple installation
OUTREACH Lite takes advantageof the universal 802.3af POE standard, so it can draw its own power from the network connection. No local power is required, so OUTREACH Lite can be located exactly where it is needed.

If your network switch has POE, simply connect OUTREACH Lite up to 100 metres from the switch, and it will deliver another 100 metres' reach over regular Cat 5e or similar cable (Diagram 1). If POE is not available, the link can easily be upgraded using a low-cost POE injector such as Veracity's OUTSOURCE (Diagram 2). No set-up or network configuration is required, as OUTREACH Lite automatically sets up network speed, duplex and crossover on connection, and does not require an IP or MAC address.

Go further
If POE and network extension beyond 200 metres (656 feet) is required, Veracity's OUTREACH Max may be installed to extend Ethernet and POE to OUTREACH Lite.

For example, a 400 metre (1312 feet) connection between a POE switch and another network device can be achieved
by fitting two OUTREACH Maxes at 100 metre intervals along the cable, followed by an OUTREACH Lite.

Unrestricted network connections up to 2.2 kilometres (1.4 miles) are possible, depending on configuration and POE source. See the OUTREACH MAx x T datasheet, or read Veracity's "Long Range Ethernet Extension" white paper.

No restrictions
BecauseOUTREACHMaxand OUTREACH Lite simply restore the network connection every 100 metres, the full (200Mbit/s) bandwidth of 100BASE-T Ethernet is maintained across the entire link. This maximises performance and transparency, with no risk of a reduced or unpredictable bandwidth, even at distances of several hundred metres or more.

OUTREACH Lite G delivers gigabit Ethernet at twice the normal distance

Simply connect an OUTREACH Lite G in line with the network cable and instantly double network range to 200 metres (656 ft).

Gigabit Ethernet is commonly used for Local Area Network (LAN) installations, although 100Base-TX is often used for single IP camera connections. As IP devices become more diverse, many applications demand network connections that exceed the maximum 100 metres (328 feet) distance limit for cabled Ethernet. OUTREACH Lite G provides an instant solution to this restriction for gigabit Ethernet connections (a 100Base-TX only version of OUTREACH Lite is also available - see table on next page). Simply connect an OUTREACH Lite G in the middle of a network cable run to double the available range to 200 metres (656 feet).

Simple installation
OUTREACH Lite G takes advantage of the universal 802.3af/at/bt POE standards, so it can draw its own power from the network connection. No local power is required, therefore OUTREACH Lite G can be located exactly where it is needed.
